4. HOME PROTECTION

Our goal is to keep your home clean. We do that by laying drop cloths and corner protectors where our vac hoses run and wearing booties on our shoes. We seal the door to protect your home from extreme outdoor weather. We will always respect your home.

5. ATTACH SUCTION

We make access openings into the main ducts (Trunk Line) and attach our massive 8” vacuum hose drawing up to 15,000 CFM of air. This is enough suction to put your entire system under tremendous negative pressure.

6. CLEAN SUPPLY DUCTS

We start by cleaning each supply vent individually while an incredibly large volume of air is being pulled to the truck. We have tools for different scenarios.

7. CLEAN RETURN DUCTS

We then clean each cold air return individually, including drops. A series of agitators are also sent through each duct where possible, breaking up the debris.

8. CLEAN MAIN DUCTS (Trunk Line)

We finish up the ductwork by scrubbing all the ductwork with our powerful whips and Spider Whips attachments powered by our 200+ PSI air compressor.

10. FURNACE AND BLOWER COMPARTMENT CLEANING

No duct cleaning is complete without an equally clean furnace and blower compartment. The furnace should be cleaned annually for the cleanest and the most efficient out of your system.

11. SEAL THE ACCESS OPENINGS

We seal the access openings, we made during the cleaning. We use 26 gauge sheet metal, foil tape, and screws to cover the 8” access openings, and 1” plugs for the1” openings.
